yes it's ok to eat them raw if they are fresh, places like steveston are safer then buying at the store 90% of the time.

Probably won't even order any for work this year. They are so overpriced you need to put a $40 dish together to make it make sense. The ones my buddy got in from his supplier were 90% dead and fucking $24 a pound.

i tried this recipe over the weekend (which i normally do with clams/mussels) with a few pounds of prawns and it worked quite nice!

- beer (used some pilsner i had lying around)
- butter
- garlic
- green onions
- a bit of veggie stock (frozen cubes in my freezer)

had a bunch of "broth" left over, so i kept it and i plan on making some udon in it or something.

I would probably call ahead and order. I ordered on Tri-Star Seafood's website since they deliver for FREE ( with a minimum amount of course ). So it's pretty cool to have seafood delivered to your house.
